I honestly don't spend a whole lot of time browsing the web for general kayak info - I like reading other paddlers' stories & seeing their picture, but for basic how-to/what-to, I've got a couple of good books at home & I guess I'm still old-fashioned enough that I tend to look in those. <BR/><BR/>I actually did a kayak safety table once for MKC - I basically loaded ALL my safety gear into my old Seda Glider & then put the boat & the gear on the table, all labelled, and then stood there & answered people's question. It was run by a local branch of the US Power Squadrons so it was actually rather interesting seeing the powerboaters' reactions.<BR/><BR/>Of course the ironic thing was that to get to the safety symposium, I paddled solo across the Hudson 4 times - 2 days, over & back once per day. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, the point was that I brought all my books along and they were in the display as safety gear, just as important to safe paddling as flares or a VHF. Maybe even moreso for day to day stuff. <BR/><BR/>Bill & Janice have done quite a service by posting all that knowledge.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175004553373882579.post-61650884630460019062007-09-27T15:30:00.000-05:002007-09-27T15:30:00.000-05:00I really think that that AKT Expert Pages is one o...I really think that that AKT Expert Pages is one of the best general information things on the web.

But remember that motor boats can't see you if you don't have lights.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099064394859894070noreply@blogger.com
